Information minister Hasanul Haque Inu on Friday said it is a challenge for the government to hold the next general election on time foiling all “conspiracies centring on the polls”, reports UNB.

Inu is also the president of ruling Awami League’s ally Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JASOD).

He made the remarks while talking to reporters after a view-exchange meeting with party leaders and activists at his residence at Golapnagar in Bheramara upazila in the morning.

Regarding Bangladesh Nationalist Party’s (BNP) reaction over the issuance of arrest warrant against its chairperson Khaleda Zia, Inu said the court has issued the warrant against Khaleda Zia.

"If she believes in democracy, she will appear before the court as she is not above the law," he said.

When reporters drew his attention to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC)'s upcoming emergency meeting on Rohingya issue, Inu said the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh has got an international recognition through the repeated emergency meetings at UNSC.
